This paper investigate the impact of external financing constraints(EFC) on the dividend policy(cash dividend ratio) and the impact of interaction of ownership structure((1)the percentage of shares held by external blockholder who owns at least 5% of equity(5% BHR), (2) the percentage of shares held by foreign investors(Foreign), (3) the percentage of shares by insider shareholders(Insider)) and external financing constraints on the dividend policy. The purpose mentioned above are empirically tested using 370 firm-year data listed on the Korean Exchange(KRX) with multiple regression method. Summarizing the results of analysis as following; Firstly, we find that EFC has negative relationship with cash dividend ratio. Secondly, interaction of 5% BHR and EFC has positive relationship with cash dividend ratio. Also, interaction of Foreign and EFC has positive relationship with cash dividend ratio. But, Insider and EFC has negative relationship with cash dividend ratio. This study contributes to research related to dividend policy by recognizing that ownership structure influences the dividend policy.

This paper empirically examines whether ownership disperses when a venture firm its IPO (initial public offerings). The data for this study were collected from 91 firms that were initially listed on KOSDAQ between January 1, 2004 and December 31, 2007. We explored the influence of the underpricing of IPO on the change of large shareholders. The first finding of this investigation is that the number of shareholders of the venture firms who underpriced IPOs still increased after the closing of lockup. This is consistent with the findings of Booth and Chua(1996) and Brennan and Franks(1997). Second, the share of the large stockholders of the venture firms that a venture capital company invested decreased significantly after the end of lockup. Third, the venture businesses with higher ratio of flotation showed a significant decreasing of shareholders after the closing of lockup.

In order to identify the antecedents of organization's exploration activities, this study focuses on internal factors. There are many theoretical and empirical studies for an organization's exploration activities, while the research on antecedents is limited. This study is aimed at the manufacturing industry in Korea from 1998 to 2012 using data from 15 years of slack, ownership structure, and TMT diversity. The study examined the impact of these firm-specific factors on firm's exploration activities. As a result, a company's exploration activities and slack have positive relationship. Between insider ownership and exploration activities, the hypothesis was not supported. Also, the relationship between TMT diversity and exploration activities was dismissed. Finally, based on the results of this analysis, the contribution of this study, limitations and implications are drawn.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between foreign ownership and firm value. Based on the sample of 3,398 firm-year observations in the period of 2000 to 2007, we find evidence that foreign ownership is positively associated with firm value measured by the market-to-book ratio. In addition, we employ simultaneous equation system where both foreign ownership and firm value are treated as endogenous variables. Simultaneous regression models indicate that the foreign ownership affects firm value, but not vice versa. The positive effects of foreign ownership on firm value result from monitoring and disciplining roles played by foreign investors. Many Korean firms have been run by an owner-manager while monitoring provided by institutional equity holders has been limited. Therefore, Korean firms are expected to suffer from more severe agency costs caused by the conflicts of interest between owner-managers and outside investors. Our empirical results support the notion that foreign investors play an important role in enhancing corporate transparency and improving corporate governance.

We posit that employee ownership through defined contribution (DC) plans results in managerial entrenchment, and then examine the effect of the enactment of the Pension Protection Act of 2006 on the relation between the employee ownership and firm performance. By conducting Ordinary Least Square regression with the data from Form 5500 over the period of 1999-2014, we find that firms with large employee ownership increase their firm value measured by Tobin's Q after the adoption of the Act. These findings suggest that the adoption of the Act has been effective to mitigate the negative effect of managerial entrenchment by decreasing the employee ownership and reinforcing the fiduciary duty of plan trustees. Given the fact that we test the effects of the diversification rule on employee ownership using firm performance, further research could aim to examine the effects of the rule on employee ownership using stock return or market reaction.

새로운 패러다임은 소유에서 접근으로 변모하고 있으며, IT분야에서는 특히 소유보다는 접근과 아웃소싱이라는 새로운경영 패러다임이 형성되고 있다. ASP(Application Service Provider)는 소프트웨어의 구입보다는소프트웨어의 사용권을 취득하고 이를 네트워크를 통해 서비스하는 비지니스 모델이 도입되고 있다. 즉, 일종의 소프트웨어 임대사업이라고 할 수 있는 ASP는 기본적으로 패키지 프로그램을 구입하는 것보다 저렴하게 사용할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

The agency relationship between managers and shareholders has the potential to influence decision-making in the firm which in turn potentially impacts on firm characteristics such as value and leverage. Using an agency framework, we examine the relation between ownership structure and capital structure during post-IMF period. We used the balanced panel data for 378 korean listed companies during the 1999-2005. The panel data sets consist of time-series observation on each of 378 cross-sectional units. The results indicate a non-linear U-shaped relation between the level of managerial share ownership and leverage with the relation reaching a minimum at 58.48 per cent of management share ownership. As managerial share ownership increase from a low level, managers have incentive to reduce the debt level for decreasing the financial risk, resulting in a lower lever of debt. However, when corporate managers hold a significant proportion of a firm's shares, managers have incentive to increase the debt level for leverage effects, resulting in a higher lever of debt.

Social media is divided into Owned Media, operated by companies according to information sources, and Earned Media, which third parties produce contents. Social media research developing the logic that brand-related content in social media increases awareness of potential customers and positively changes brand attitudes, resulting in increased sales and business performance. However, there are limitations in previous researches that can not fully explain the difference of media synergy effect according to the information source of social media. it is very important for the consumer to integrate media management because consumers are more likely to choose appropriate media information for the information needed at each decision making stage. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of eWOM of review site and social media (owned media and earned media) on movie sales. To do this, we collected 3,589 review data from films released in 2017. The results of the study showed that eWOM of review site, social media (owned media and earned media) had a positive effect on movie sales. However, it was found that the effect of moderating eWOM of review site was different between the owned media and the earend media.

외국인투자 유치를 통해 국내산업의 생산성을 향상시키는 것이 중요한데 외국인투자가 한국의 산업생산성에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지에 대한 실증연구가 전무한 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 기업데이터를 이용하여 외국인투자의 생산성효과를 추정하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 상기 분석을 통해 얻은 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 외국인소유기업의 노동생산성이 높다. 둘째, 외국인투자의 생산성 파급효과는 양(+)의 효과를 가지나 통계적으로 유의하지 않다. 즉, 생산성 파급효과가 미미하다고 볼 수 있다. 이상의 결론은 매우 중요한 시사점을 갖는다. 우선 외국인투자기업이 선진기술 및 경영노하우를 전수할 능력을 가졌을 가능성을 시사한다. 외국인투자를 유치하는 중요한 이유 중의 하나인 선진기술 및 경영노하우 전수의 전제조건인 외국인투자기업의 기술 및 노하우 소유가 실제로 성립할 가능성을 시사한다. 하지만 외국인투자가 국내산업 전반의 효율성 제고로 이어지는 데는 아직 장애요인이 존재함을 암시한다. 경쟁규율이 확립되지 않았거나 기술파급을 위한 제도적 여건이 미비한 것이 원인일 가능성이 있다. 따라서 정책적인 시사점은 어떻게 기술파급효과를 극대화할 것인가에 집중된다. 경쟁에서 낙오한 기업의 퇴출을 확실히 제도화함으로써 외국인투자의 경쟁압력이 기업의 효율성 증가로 이어지도록 해야 할 필요가 있으며 각종 반경쟁적 관행 또는 행위를 단속할 수 있는 경쟁정책의 확립이 요구된다. 또한 노동시장의 유연성 제고, 산업입지정책의 효율화 등을 통해 외국인투자의 기술이전 및 확산효과가 극대화되도록 해야 할 것이다.
